Viktor Gyokeres wants to Play in England as he reveals he will join three Premier League clubs ahead of Man United this summer

Viktor Gyokeres wants to Play in England as he reveals he will join three Premier League clubs ahead of Man United this summer

Manchester United were thought to be at the front of the queue to sign Gyokeres as he loved playing under Ruben Amorim, who left Sporting to take over at Old Trafford in November.

Despite interest from some of the biggest clubs across Europe, Gyokeres’ preference is to move to England this summer, according to Portuguese outlet A Bola.

More specifically, it is claimed Gyokeres favours a move to Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester City.

Liverpool will be in a strong negotiating position come the summer as the new Premier League champions and possible even treble-winners.

The Reds are eyeing a sensational treble in Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield despite playing without a recognised striker for much of the season.

Liverpool’s most natural No. 9, Darwin Nunez, has struggled for regular game-time under Slot and is expected to be moved on in the summer.

That would open the door to Gyokeres potentially joining the runaway Premier League leaders, although Liverpool are also believed to be in the running for Newcastle United talisman Alexander Isak.

Gyokeres can reportedly see himself at the Etihad Stadium but Manchester City are unlikely to sign a new striker after giving Erling Haaland a huge new deal and signing Omar Marmoush in January.

Unlike Man City, Arsenal will certainly be in the market for a new striker and Gyokeres would be open to joining the Gunners, who look set for a third successive second-place finish in the Premier League.

The report suggests Gyokeres has reservations about moving to Manchester United, who are currently just 14th in the Premier League and will miss out on European football next season unless they win the Europa League.

Gyokeres is contracted to Sporting Lisbon until 2028 but his departure is seen as ‘inevitable’. He has a buy-out clause worth €100m but Sporting are open to selling for around €70m.
